I appreciate asking the question bc that means that you are at least willing to hear answers. It depends on your employer. Here are two EXTREMELY broad types (so broad that they probably lose applicability to you): Business employer: Even i

A #16 seed has never beaten a #1 seed in the history of the tournament, yet the percentages of moving on for #1 seeds against #16 seeds vary from 96%-99%. I wonder if there would be any of this variance (4 percentage points from 100%) if co

I am not quite sure of your definition of 'somewhat' however giving a mild amount of justification for treating others wrongly simply bc they don't confirm to your standards of 'correctness' is not justifiable.

Great read and even greater story, thank you for sharing! When I read stories like this a small part of me wishes that I were there to beat up the bullies, to be his friend and to end the pain. The another part of me tries to put myself in

I am trying to relate this bankruptcy filing to something her in the US and I am failing. I guess the only thing I can come up with is if Blockbuster had just turned off their website when they started losing hundreds of millions of dollars

The article mentions that the Royal Navy banned cats on the grounds of hygiene in the 1970's, does anyone know if the US followed suit?

I would hazard a guess that it's not how simple the site is or the changes would be, it's a matter of managing it.

I think we are all looking at the amount of work that would need to go into this, and not looking at the simple fact that maybe PG doesn't want to manage a mobile site. If you don't understand what I mean by "manage", th

If this was a play for consumers, then I would agree with you. However, this is a play for businesses, and there is not a day that goes by where SMB aren't hounded by mobile payments startups. Rarely does a B2B startup succeed bc they

My point was the zero sum game in that these SEC guys were former traders. So trying to have them not participate in the thing they were bred to do, is not practical or else they would have done it.

Very good idea, and one that I hope they had brought to the table (I wasn't at the table and I would love to know if you were). I have to imagine that something like this was brought up as an option, and it was struck down due to a cou

I believe it is a zero sum game to try and have "no conflicts of interest" in anything. At least the SEC is now forcing a system that A) Allows their regulators to be transparent about an activity that they have done their whole l

I mean, it's good to have write ups that speak to the broader point that an idea by itself can have inherent value and then it ceases to have value if you don't execute on it. Maybe thinking about ideas like a limited time coupon

I agree with your thought about properly updated device. I simply don't believe that more than 5% of people (making up a number) have all of their devices properly updated, so this type of report is a fair warning to all.
